The answer is tissue fluid. Tissue fluid holds far smaller quantity of protein molecules because they are too large to escape easily over the tiny holes in the capillary endothelium. Tissue fluid doesn't contain red blood cells because they are too large, but does comprise some white blood cells.
Answer:
b. The water molecule is polar.
Explanation:
Water molecules forming hydrogen bonds with one another. The partial negative charge on the O of one molecule can form a hydrogen bond with the partial positive charge on the hydrogens of other molecules. Water molecules are also attracted to other polar molecules and to ions.
Answer:
Pinocytosis is the mechanism by which living cells consume liquid droplets. Endocytosis is the general mechanism by which cells ingest foreign substances and collect them in special membrane-bound vesicles within the cell. Pinocytosis is one form of endocytosis.
Answer:
The old idea that coronary heart disease is an infectious disease has gained popularity in recent years, and both viral and bacterial pathogens have been proposed to be associated with the inflammatory changes seen in atherosclerosis. Herpes group viruses, notably cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex type 1, have been associated with atherosclerosis and restenosis. Helicobacter pylori and dental infections have also been linked to atherogenesis, but the evidence seems to favor a respiratory, obligatory intracellular bacterium, Chlamydia pneumoniae. The association was originally found in seroepidemiological studies, but the actual presence of the pathogen in atherosclerotic lesions has been repeatedly demonstrated, and during past year the first successful animal experiments and encouraging preliminary intervention studies were published. The causal relationship has not yet been proven, but ongoing large intervention trials and continuing research on pathogenetic mechanisms may lead to the use of antimicrobial agents in the treatment of coronary heart disease in the future.
